Hawzah News Agency (Qom, Iran) – Addressing a group of seminary students and missionaries at al-Murtadha University on Saturday, Ayatollah Alireza Arafi, head of Iranian seminaries asserted, “This university was established to serve the purpose of seminaries in promoting Islam internationally.”

“Those people who hold radical beliefs regarding the issue of Imamate and Ahlulbayt (as) do not help to promote Ahlulbayt’s (as) doctrine anywhere in the world, whereas the Islamic Revolution’s constructive dialogue on Islamic unity has developed Ahlulbayt’s doctrine.”

Member of Islamic Seminaries’ Supreme Council added, “The global call for Ahlulbayt’s doctrine must spread from Qom to the whole world; but that does not mean promoting Ahlulbayt’s doctrine should involve radicalism and religious discord, the Islamic seminaries of Iran oppose any form of violence or discord among religions.”

“Carrying out promotional activities on different platforms and in different ways is another major issue that must be considered in Al-Murtadha University. Such comprehensive plans must be initiated in al-Mustafa international university first and then transferred to other departments as well.”
